The busy
month of December is in full swing!

We are
combining language arts and social studies as we read and discuss the book The Southeast. Using their laptops, the
students are creating movies to display the information they have learned from
their individual inquiry projects about this region. I look forward to viewing
their movies about theme parks, sports teams, and animals and plants of the
Southeast.

In math the
students have enjoyed participating in the game “Math Quest” as we have studied
division.We are now working on a short
number theory and problem solving unit.Right after Winter Break we will begin our study of fractions.

Our Holiday
Program will be on Thursday evening, December 17, at 6:30.The children should meet me in our classroom
at 6:15.Our class holiday party will be
on Friday afternoon, December 18.

Thanks to
the many parent volunteers who have helped with various activities during the
last few weeks, including those who accompanied us on our field trip to The
Works and planned our class parties.

This Friday, December 18, I will collect the
students’ laptops to keep in the classroom during our vacation. School will
reconvene on Monday, January 4.As
always, feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or questions.I wish you all a joyful and safe Winter
Break.
